Lesson 1: Create a project area and project team

Rational® Quality Manager supports the use of multiple project areas. In this lesson, you create new project and team areas; in the next lesson, you add the sample users.

To start Rational Quality Manager:

  1. Start the Rational Quality Manager server:
    1. In Windows®, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.
    2. In Linux®, click Applications > IBM Rational Quality Manager > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.
    Note: The server is running when the message, INFO: Server startup, displays in the server log window.
  2. When the server is running, open Rational Quality Manager in a browser:
    1. In Windows, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager > IBM Rational Quality Manager.
    2. In Linux, click Applications > IBM Rational Quality Manager > IBM Rational Quality Manager.
  3. Log in as the administrator (Userid: ADMIN, Password: ADMIN), when prompted with the login dialog box. If this is your first time logging in, it may take a little while to load.
    Note: User ids and passwords are case-sensitive.
  4. To create a new project area:
    1. In the upper, right corner of the page, click Admin > Jazz Project Administration. The Active Project Areas page opens.
    2. Click Create Project Area.
    3. Replace Project Name with your project name, such as Quality Manager Sample.
    4. Optional: Add a summary and description.
    5. In the Process section, leave the default as Quality Manager Default Process.
    6. Click Save. The message, Project area created successfully, will display at the top of the page.
In addition to creating a project area, a default team area is automatically created under the Team Area Hierarchy section. In the next lesson, you will continue as the administrator and add the sample users.
